"The gay indie romantic comedy genre is relatively young, but in addition to neu-classics such as Trick, Eating Out and Latter Days, we now have Is it Just Me? The film follows Blaine, a young Los Angeles columnist for an alternative publication named USA ToGay, who wonders in print if he’ll ever find a true, unshallow love in the decidedly shallow Hollywood scene. As he writes in his article, “Am I the only gay man looking for more than what’s behind the zipper?” And find a connection he does. Online. He meets the budding musician Xander, the man of his dreams, in an Internet chatroom. In true screwball fashion though, he doesn’t realize that he logged into the site under the profile of Cameron, his thick-skulled but hotly muscled, go-go dancer roommate. Thinking that Xander won’t be attracted to him, Blaine forces Cameron to meet his object of affection in his stead–and Cyrano-like hidden identity wackiness ensues. What will win Xander’s heart–brawn or brains?
All the usual elements of the genre are there, like the brashy, sarcastic hag-best friend and the queeny older gay man as mentor (played by Bruce Gray from Queer as Folk); but also added to the mix is the backdrop of Internet social media sites, which are so essential to gay socialization, and ultimately, gay culture.
The actors inhabit their roles so well that the predictable story-line works and charms. David Loren as the good ole boy Texan has an easy going, aww-shucks drawl and a believable measure of naiveté appropriate for his startlingly sincere character. Nicholas Downs plays Blaine with a pleasant squareness and a wide selection of buttoned-up polo shirts. As he puts it: “Being average in a world of physical perfection is the worst kind of gay purgatory.” But Downs is a bit too handsome; we don’t believe for a second that he’d have trouble finding someone. The ending, while it could have been played up more, is satisfyingly happy. More importantly, the film earns it and the two lovebirds are such winning, appealing characters that we want to see them together.
'Is It Just Me?' doesn’t re-invent the rainbow wheel, but that’s not what it’s for. It’s a refreshing, contemporary, and altogether hopeful look at hunting for a husband in the 2010s."

As earnest as they come, Is It Just Me? is a slight comedy with a few missteps but a lot of heart. Writer/director J.C. Calciano creates an all-too-familiar theme in the land of the gays: coming to terms with an overwhelmingly superficial community where being "average" is the kiss of death.
Enter Blaine (Nicholas Downs), a handsome young writer frustrated with dating in the world of West Hollywood. He spends his days in a local coffee shop where he feels ignored because he isn’t smoking hot, only to go home to his stud of a roommate Cameron (Adam Huss), an over-sexed actor/go-go dancer.
Blaine spends his nights on gay.com where he continually avoids the guys only looking for sex, thus driving home his beliefs that he is a rose in a plastic flower shop. But then... one night... he meets the perfect guy: a naïve kid from Texas named Xander (David Loren) with no agenda who is just looking to meet new people. Too good to be true? Perhaps. But when these two decide to talk on the phone, well, sparks fly. Two nights of six hour conversations (and one round of phone sex) bring the two closer together and they decide to finally meet. But wait: this wouldn’t be a comedy if it weren’t for that nasty case of mistaken identity.
You see, roommate Cameron somehow used Blaine’s gay.com profile to meet guys himself, and put his own picture up on Blaine’s profile. So for two days, Xander has believed he was talking to studly Cameron. And instead of Blaine just calling Xander back and explaining the mistake, he inexplicably asks Cameron to meet Xander in his place. This is done under the guise that Cameron argues that looks win over personality, and Blaine thinks that even though he isn’t a hunk, Xander will still choose him... even though he thinks he’s been talking to Cameron. The machinations eventually get out of hand when it appears that Cameron and Xander have slept together. This just makes Blaine confident that his view on love in L.A. is correct: unless you look like an Abercrombie and Fitch model, you won’t find love.
The contrivance of the film is a bit of a stretch. How does Xander not recognize Blaine’s voice when Cameron sounds like he’s from New York and Blaine has a softer, gentler way of speaking? But there is a charm to it that is undeniable. The writing by Calciano is fairly believable, and the film is confidently made, with a clean Hollywood look.
The main actors all win here, beginning with Downs who, while being especially earnest in his delivery, conveys an inner turmoil that is actually affecting and grounds the film in a way that’s lacking in a lot of modern gay films. Loren is adorable as the innocent Texan, and his heart-stopping gaze is so endearing it’s impossible not to fall in love with the kid. Huss is appropriately ridiculous in a role that could have been one-note, but ends up having a wee bit more depth than expected. He ain’t bad to look at, either.
But the best character in the film is one of the most original. Xander’s elderly roommate Ernie (Bruce Gray) is a scene-stealer every time he’s on screen. This guy could have been someone who pathetically falls for his renter or who rolls his eyes at the younger generation’s "trivial" problems. Instead, he is a fresh, funny voice of reason even while having some life lessons of his own to learn. He brings a gay perspective that doesn’t preach or talk down to the younger generation, and is the kind of guy we’d all love to have as a roommate.
Is it Just Me? might not break new ground in gay film, but it’s a pleasant and well-made diversion, with its heart in the right place and a cast that wins you over.

Meet Blaine, a typical young gay guy who just can’t seem to find love. But then he met Xander online and he seems to be is the man of his dreams. They continue a relationship online and finally decide to meet face to face at a coffee shop. Xander is sweet, good looking and a musician who has recently moved to Los Angeles. There is only one problem. Blaine has been cruising Xander online under his roommate’s, Cameron (a go-go dancer) profile and he ultimately gets Cameron to take his place for the meeting. Here is the rub—Cameron and Blaine both like Xander and they are too very different men. Cameron is good looking and Blaine, who is not exactly a stud but not bad looking, is a guy with brains.
The internet and online cruising have certainly changed the way we behave and that is just what J.C. Calciano explores in this very cute and funny film. The characters are endearing, the acting is excellent and the script is a lot of fun. We do not get many romantic comedies in the GLBT film genre and so this is quite welcome. I had to love Blaine because he reminded me so much of myself. While he is younger than I am the circumstances are similar—we both write for gay publications yet never really find our places much less love in the gay world.
I loved the contrast of brain and brawn but Blaine got my vote from the very beginning. I also really liked the way Calciano brought the “fag hag” friend, the older gay male and the use of the internet as a conduit for love. As Xander, David Loren is as cute as he can be and he plays his role with perfect naïveté and a wonderful Southern drawl. Nicholas Downs as Blaine is a true honey who sees himself as average but who looked really good to me. We cheer when they get together and leave the film with a warm fuzzy feeling. Here is a fresh and contemporary look at the way many of us live which is full of heart and charm. Make sure you look for it.

You can dismiss this story as empty fluff and ponder its credibility when a cute blog writer named Blaine thinks he's not hot enough to land a boyfriend and a big-hearted Texan mistakes his hunky and vacant roommate for Blaine, despite the fact the blogger and the Texan have been chatting for hours on the phone and should know each other's voices. It's kind of "Cyrano de Bergerac" meets "As You Like It" at Micky's or the Abbey and I defy you not to fall for it. It's kind of like a Jennifer Aniston movie re-fitted for West Hollywood. A romantic charmer.

A decidedly more lighthearted romance, Is It Just Me? explores the challenges faced by an average looking gay man trying to find true love in an intense meat market like Hollywood. Blaine (Nicholas Downs) writes an advice column for a popular Los Angeles gay newspaper. He is also the polar opposite of his roommate, Cameron (Adam Huss).
Whereas Blaine is the type of gay man who can overintellectualize anything and everything, Cameron is the stereotypical hunky go-go dancer who knows how to get plenty of head. And does so without compunction.
One night, Blaine starts chatting online with someone who sounds too good to be true. During their first telephone call, things just keep getting better and better. Could he have found Prince Charming? Is there someone in Hollywood who is actually compatible with Blaine?
Unfortunately, the chat occurred shortly after Cameron had been using Blaine's computer (and had forgotten to sign off from his favorite gay website). The result? The handsome hunk that's just arrived in Los Angeles from a small town in Texas is falling in love with Blaine's words and thoughts while drooling over Cameron's pictures. How long will it take for Xander (David Loren) to learn the truth? And when he does, will he be willing to embrace plain Blaine instead of hunky Cameron?
This gimmick has been used in vehicles ranging from Edmond Rostand's play, Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) to Steve Martin's film adaptation, Roxanne (1987) and Q. Allan Brocka's rowdy gay sex farce, Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat (2009). Whereas Brocka wasted no time taking the low road, writer/director J. C. Calciano has decided to take the romance between Blaine and Xander much more seriously. To his credit, even the most cynical of audiences will find themselves won over by Calciano's approach.
I especially loved the scene in which Xander and his housemate Ernie (Bruce Gray) are watching a horror film in which Cameron once had a small part. When the credits roll -- revealing that Blaine's name is nowhere to be seen -- Ernie can't stop blubbering over what has essentially been a Grade B piece of schlock.
What words of wisdom pour forth from an old queen whose fart-prone dog is named is Donatella? "It's like Sweeney Todd without the music," sobs Ernie. "Or Angela!"
By the time Is It Just Me? comes to its end, it's impossible to resist the charms of its well-balanced ensemble, particularly David Loren's Xander. Key supporting roles are handled by Michelle Laurent (as Blaine's close friend and running partner) and Bob Rumnock as Blaine's neurotic and often hysterical publisher. Adam Huss is an absolute hoot as Blaine's sexy roommate.
Will Blaine and Xander fall in love and live happily ever after? Only time will tell.

If you've never been on a date to the Ford Ampitheatre during Outfest, I've got the perfect occasion for you: the screening of the sweet romantic comedy Is It Just Me? which screens at the Ford on Saturday, July 16. It’s always fun to pack a picnic and some wine and show up an hour or so early and eat on the grounds. It’s a really lovely time.
Is It Just Me? is written and directed by JC Calciano who I met a few weeks back. He has put together a very appealing cast for this movie about a writer named Blaine (Nicholas Downs) who is running very low on self- confidence in the guy department.
He meets Xander (David Loren) first at a coffee house then online and they click. But his hunky roomie Cameron's (Adam Huss) photo appears on the chat page because he had been using Blaine’s computer previously. It becomes a case of mistaken identity.
Blaine wants Cameron to pretend he’s him when he and Xander meet until he can win the guy over with his wit and charm. You have to really engage in some serious suspension of disbelieve to buy that Xander would not quickly figure out that there’s no way Cameron is the man he had connected with so deeply on the phone.
Cameron, who works as a go-go dancer, is seriously hunky so it's easy to see why Blaine might be feeling insecure even though he is absolutely adorable.
Blaine’s BFF (Michelle Laurent) tries to re-assure him: "You deserve to be loved. You’re a great catch, trust me."
It’s easy to see why he’s drawn to Xander. The guy is not only very attractive and with a Texas drawl, he's also thoughtful, charming and seems emotionally intelligent.
The movie gives us something special in Xander's older roommate Ernie who is so wonderfully played by Bruce Gray who you will recognize from his role as John Corbertt’s father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding but who I remember best from his stint on Queer as Folk as Emmett's lover who dies in an airplane while they are having sex!
His presence and his performance are wonderful!

Wehoans and their admirers can catch two more films celebrating the city’s 25th Anniversary with two very different themes. The first film Is It Just Me? gives us a comic romp through the bedrooms, bars and coffee houses of Boystown, as seen through the eyes of Blaine.
Continuing this weekend, Wehoans and their admirers can catch two more films celebrating the city’s 25th Anniversary with two very different themes. The first film Is It Just Me? gives us a comic romp through the bedrooms, bars and coffee houses of Boystown, as seen through the eyes of Blaine. WeHo News.
Blaine’s the guy who thinks he’s a Rodney Dangerfield in a land of male strippers in a go-go bar. Ably played by the talented and handsome Nicholas Downs, Blaine takes us on a tour of WeHo and it’s subculture of young gay men and their at times stereotypic behavior, from casual sex to stuffing bills in dancer’s jockstraps on bartops as house music throbs ceaselessly.
Even in this environment, Downs gives Blaine an honest sincerity and so we care that he might triumph in this update of a classic rom-com plot from the 40’s. David Loren as Xander is the perfect crush for Blaine, a pea-pickin’ good hearted rube with a heart o’ gold and a killer smile. And we want them to match up as, self-doubt, unexpected consequences and a series of misunderstandings cloud the sky.
Is It Just Me? doesn’t stray far from the realm of Outfest gay cinema. It is, however, one of those films that just feel right. The scenes of two men kissing seem almost routine and uneventful as it may not have just a few years back.
In a way, the story just happens to be about two men chasing love: it could be any gender combo and still be equally warm and heartfelt. That it is two young dudes and takes place on and off Santa Monica Boulevard just add to the fun for us locals.
Really, any dvd that thanks Baskitwear and Ginch Gonch, Gay.com and Frontier Magazine probably has the vibe right. Writer/director JC Calciano keeps things tight and moving. This one is screening in the giant, gorgeous outdoor venue of the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre so make it a night out and have a laugh, followed by a dance and drink at an after-party TBA in Boystown to cap the night. It’ll seem kinda nineties and also might seem just right.

I just attended the Canadian premiere of this movie at "Inside Out" (the Toronto LBGT Film and Video Festival) and was quite surprised at how good it was. Normally, with gay romantic comedies I don't expect too much because they true too hard, but this film was endearing without being overbearing and (in some instances) it was downright charming.
The actors were well-cast, with an especially good comedic performance by Canadian Bruce Gray, and the story is something that I think many gay guys can relate to --- trying to fall in love in sea of sexual conquests in the big city. Based on the overall reaction of the audience in attendance, I wasn't the only one who enjoyed it either.
If you this film rolls through your local LGBT film-fest or when it eventually pops out on video, it really is worth seeing it....

A new gay movie, "Is It Just Me," an upbeat romantic comedy, had its Michigan premiere Friday and Saturday, March 5 and 6 in Detroit at the Burton Theatre as part of the first-ever Detroit Independent Film Festival. Detroit was about the second stop on its tour around the country. The movie was outstanding for a low budget film and be prepared to shed a tear as well as laugh. What happens after the premiere, playing in theaters or distributed as a DVD, has not been determined.
Prior to the movie, everyone had the opportunity to meet the lead actor, Nicholas Downs, pictured above, the Writer / Director, J.C. Calciano, and the Producer, Mike Amato. We actually were able to talk to Nicholas Downs for several minutes. They also held a question and answer period following the movie.
Nicholas Downs played the role, of the charming, gay, hopeless romantic , "Blaine" in "Is It Just Me?" Blaine was on a seemingly impossible quest to find Mr. Right. Downs has also filmed parts for big-budget flicks like "Pearl Harbor" (credited as the "Terrified Sailor") and several other independent dramas.
The Director commented about Downs, "There's a fine line between 'endearing' and 'annoying'. I knew whoever played Blaine needed to be adorably self-defeatist in nature. I wanted the audience to think, 'He's so cute, why couldn’t he find a boyfriend?'"
Downs began his career while growing up in Iowa, giving up a future in marine biology to shoot Sega Channel and McDonald's commercials. His first film, the made-for-TV "Harvest of Fire," was released in 1996 and starred Patty Duke. He shot a scene with Kate Winslet for the Nancy Meyers’ chick-flick "The Holiday" (it didn't make the final cut), and appeared on a 2007 episode of "Cold Case" as a grunged-out creepster.
Director Calciano commented, "I hope that audiences take away a few things: An enjoyable experience. An insight about how we all effect each other's lives. An insight into relationships. I'm a 45-year- old man in an 11-year relationship, and I think that I’ve learned a few things about life that are worth sharing. My goal in making this movie was to not only entertain people, but also to share a positive message about gay relationships."

"Hilariously funny in this heartwarming and quite wonderful delight of a romantic comedy. Is It Just Me? is a sweet and enchanting date movie that will remind us all of when we were just like the shy Blaine …. or maybe even more like a provocative Cameron…either way it will have you leaving the theater with a smile."

“A little film with a big heart; a true independent.”

"I met Mr. J.C. Calciano during the 2010 Palm Springs International Film Festival, where his film, 'Is It Just Me?' had its world premiere. 'Is It Just Me?' was put under the banners of the John Schlesinger Award and World Cinema Now -- celebrating diversity in humanistic storytelling. Not bad for a first-time filmmaker!
While Calciano is making his feature debut, he's hardly a newbie in the business. He earned an associate producer credit for 1996's 'Mission Impossible,' as well as running the new media division of Melanie Griffith's One World Networks, and being the former head of production for Tom Cruise's C/W Productions at Paramount Pictures.
I'm so glad that Calciano shared his film with me. Inundated with watching blockbuster films, seeing "Is It Just Me?" was a treat. The film tells the story of Blaine (Nicholas Downs) and his quest to find Mr. Right. He’s a clever, witty, but miserable young man who believes that suffering nourishes his creativity. But all of that is about to change when Blaine stumbles upon Xander (David Loren) in an online chat-room. It seems like a match made in heaven until Blaine realizes that he’s been chatting with Xander using the online profile of his go-go dancer roommate (keyword: hot) played by Adam Huss.
'Is It Just Me?' is a fine and funny romantic comedy with a great big heart! It’s a smart love story about finding our one true love and the lengths we have to go through to succeed.
Writer/director Calciano proved that he’s adept in balancing the romance and the comedy, which is a hard thing to do! The cast is game, and I enjoyed their vibrant repartees. So I’m glad I checked out 'Is It Just Me?,' it brightened my day!
For more on the film, check its official website right here. 'Is It Just Me?' is headed to the Newport Beach Film Festival April 22 - 29. It recently won the best feature award at the Detroit indie film festival! But the best part? Mr. J.C. will be forever featured in our Emerging Talent section."

Talk about pressure. When Nicholas Downs nabbed the role of the charming, gay hopeless romantic in "Is It Just Me?," the director told him, half-jokingly, "I don't want to freak you out, but just so you know, the movie sort of rests on your shoulders - so don't fuck it up."
And when the rom-com premieres locally at 8 p.m. March 5 at the Burton Theatre as part of the first-ever Detroit Independent Film Festival, you'll see that Downs didn't. He's a total catch as the affable lead Blaine, who's on a seemingly impossible quest to find Mr. Right. The festival-circuit-making indie taps into something that's rarely done - and done well - among a heaping mess of gay, hyper-sexual slop.
"To some degree, there's a Blaine in all of us," assures Downs, who will appear during the screening with producer Mike Amato and writer-director J.C. Calciano. "I'm definitely not Blaine, but I feel like we can all understand and relate to him."
For Downs, who's filmed parts for big-budget flicks like ueber-filmmaker Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor" (credited as the "Terrified Sailor") and several other indie dramas, being the contradictory Blaine was sometimes a frustrating feat. He had to be likeable - but not too much, or else we'd abhor him. He had to be insecure and all me-against-the-world - but, again, not too much, or else he'd drive us nuts.
"The difficulty in casting the role of Blaine was the same reason I almost didn't make the film at all," says Calciano, who modeled the character after himself and cast Downs because he sensed similarities between them.
"There's a fine line between 'endearing' and 'annoying,'" he adds. "I knew whoever played Blaine needed to be adorably self-defeatist in nature. I wanted the audience to think, 'He's so cute, why couldn't he find a boyfriend?'"
That problem is Blaine's attitude - and the lie he lays on Xander, a cute Southern sweetheart he meets online, to cover his ass after making a big oopsy: sharing the wrong profile pic with his prospective beau. As silly as that set-up sounds, "Is It Just Me?" is thankfully low on cheap innuendo and campy ha-has, offering a solid script and some of the finest acting seen in gay rom-coms.
It's also a dream 20 years in the making for Calciano, who's been wanting to write, produce and direct his own film for that long. Initially screened among a laughing, crying and engaged focus group in a 250-seat theater, Calciano saw his little movie become a big deal among a bunch of strangers.
"Many people dream of making movies. For two decades, I had the same dream," Calciano says. "It struck me in that theater that I finally accomplished a life goal. Watching people enjoy the film, smiling one moment and emotional - or even crying - at the next, it's just more gratifying than I ever expected."
Downs was immediately drawn to the script because it defied gay-film stereotypes and guidelines. "It's funny, it's very sweet, it has wonderful moments to it," gushes Downs, who dug the parellels between "Is It Just Me?" and Steve Martin's 1987 film "Roxanne." He adds, "The story was something that I knew and that I could relate to."
Not always the case. He's read a lot of garbage, and passed on many roles because of that. With "Is It Just Me?," he was confident he could hawk this film without faking it.
Downs began his career while growing up in Iowa, giving up a future in marine biology to shoot Sega Channel and McDonald's commercials. His first film, the made-for-TV "Harvest of Fire," was released in 1996 and starred Patty Duke. He shot a scene with Kate Winslet for the Nancy Meyers' chick-flick "The Holiday" (it didn't make the final cut), and appeared on a 2007 episode of "Cold Case" as a grunged-out creepster.
This is his first major gay role, but if a former agent had anything to do with it, it would've never happened. Years ago, he advised Downs to avoid queer characters. "I've always been a little defiant. So I said, 'You know what, I don't care if it's gay, straight, man, woman or dog, I'm gonna play the role that's good.'"
Being gay did him a service, he thinks, when it came to playing Blaine. "A capable actor could've played this role - a capable actor can play any role. But I think it helped being gay to really fully realize the characer of Blaine."
Even a shower scene, where he bares his ass, benefits from knowing Downs is actually gay (at least we know we have a chance if Xander doesn't take the bait, right?). Shooting that part, he almost decided to go more modest and don flesh-toned underwear. Those got soggy and gross and proved a greater annoyance than he imagined, "so after a while I was like, 'Screw this.'"
That, maybe shockingly, is the only nudity in "Is It Just Me?" - so don't go in expecting an "Eating Out"-type time. Things get raw, but not like that.
"I hope that audiences take away a few things: An enjoyable experience. An insight about how we all effect each other's lives. An insight into relationships," says Calciano. "I'm a 45-year-old man in an 11-year relationship, and I think that I've learned a few things about life that are worth sharing. My goal in making this movie was to not only entertain people, but also to share a positive message about gay relationships."

"I think I can literally count the number of successful gay romantic comedies on the fingers of one hand. As a genre, it is apparently an almost impossible task to present one which can compete on a level playing field with the straights. Calciano, in his first directorial effort, managed to make one of the best I've seen...I laughed, I cried, I felt that I learned some truths about young gays that needed to be said. ... Calciano delivers the goods with a clever script (an adaptation of the Cyrano story), along with a sure talent for casting actors who interact with real chemistry and sell their roles perfectly. A couple of actors to watch for in the future: Nicholas Downs, who combines smarts and acting chops in one attractive package; and David Loren, who is quite ingratiating in an almost impossible role as the cute, insightful hick from Texas with a good heart."
